I just turned 75 and I find the WebOS to be very user friendly once you learn the system. I am an audiophile and have owned many home theater components since 1973. That being said, I found the Web OS to be the best way to use as a "switcher" among your components, including Blu Ray DVD, receiver, etc. I use all the HDMI connections on my 65" OLED, whereby the operating system does all the work for you . Some exceptions would be analog connections such as a turntable, VCR, cassette player (yes, I still use them) They are connected to the receiver, but the receiver is also plugged into your HDMI port. An exception, if you still use a VCR...there are up converting modules (Amazon), where you plug in your red/black/yellow RCA cables into this module which converts the analog signal to an HDMI signal. It is powered by a usb cable which can also plug into your LG. The OS detects all your components and you can access them through your screen. Yes, the remote is user friendly even for us old dudes.
Sorry, there was a problem.

It's more about a user's skill level. The remote is generally considered easy to use due to its intuitive, motion-controlled pointer, which functions like a computer mouse for faster menu navigation and browsing compared to traditional arrow keys. While many users find it highly convenient for navigating apps and streaming services, some users may not find it as easy to use. Determining how easy a TV remote is to use involves evaluating its physical comfort, button layout, and responsiveness to user input. A minimal amount of skill or "muscle memory" is required to efficiently use an LG Magic Remote, although it is designed to be intuitive and user-friendly. It functions similarly to a computer mouse, requiring users to learn how to control an on-screen pointer, use a scroll wheel, and utilize voice commands...^Ivan.

This being said, the one feature I personally do not like is the rapid speech from the TV when a selection is made or a description of a show is being read. It's very mono-toned without inflection or, grammatical pause. I typically mute my TV until I finally make my selection and start watching a movie.
